How can I convert CNY to INR?

There are two ways to do so and they are common for all cross country visit...

1. Not using bitcoin : Have an international debit card (with MasterCard/VISA) from a Chinese bank (most HK banks will offer this). Top up your bank account with CNY. Withdraw INR from any Indian ATM.

2. Using bitcoin : Have a bitcoin debit card (e-coin.io, AnxBtc, WageCan etc.) and buy bitcoin with CNY to top it up. Use it to withdraw INR from any Indian ATM.

I think you are right.
What I did was carry the greebacks and exchange INR at various rates. 1USD:61INR at airport, 66-67.5 at currency exchange stands(with and without signs)

How can I convert CNY to INR?

I think your best bet is to use your Chinese ATM card within India to withdraw INR. Other than that, you will have to exchange bitcoins for INR cash. If you are in Bangalore, probably one of the bitcoin companies here can help you.

Tricky part is that only HSBC supports Chinese Union card and there aren't many HSBC opertions across India. I did visit Bangalore and it's a pity that I didn't catch up with them.

If you are in Bangalore or Delhi, can drop by the Coinsecure Office.

You guys can somewhere organize a meetup around your office(just came to know that you have one in NSP), many more might be interested in meeting each other along with hl5460.

Can do a meetup at Delhi for sure.
Can do in Bangalore as well.

Thanks for the hospitality. I will be in Bangalore on 7th then to Chennai on 9th, then to Pondicherry.
Look forward to seeing you guys.

Do let us know which parts you plan to visit.

That would be nice, we are planning to visit Delhi, Mombai, Bangalore is being reviewed.
Any suggestions? we have like 7 days max.

If you are looking for history / ancient monuments, Delhi with a short trip to Agra should be fine.
Do try and squeeze in Bangalore into your trip, since it is the IT capital of India.
